A website is a set of pages that people can visit on their phone or computer. It explains what you do, shows your work and gives them a way to contact you or buy from you.
A simple exampleIf someone hears about your plumbing business, they can open your website, see your services and photos, then tap a button to ask for a quote.
You do not need to know how to build it. We handle the design and setup.

An address, a space and a shop.
Your domain is your website address, such as yourbusiness.co.za. Hosting is the service that keeps your website available online. Your website is the content and design people see.
A simple exampleThink of the domain as your street address, hosting as the space you rent, and the website as the shop you put in that space.
Our listed website packages include one .co.za domain and hosting for the first year. Standard renewal is R600/year after that.

Give people a way to get there.
A new website needs visitors. People may find it through Google, your social pages, an advert, a recommendation, your email signature or a link you send on WhatsApp.
A simple exampleWhen someone asks about your services, send the relevant page. It can explain the offer and show your work before you speak again.
Search visibility takes work. A new website does not automatically appear first on Google.

They can work together.
Social media helps you get noticed and stay in touch. Your website gives people an organised place to understand your business, compare services and take the next step.
A simple examplePost a recent project on Facebook. Link it to a website page with more photos, useful details and a clear enquiry button.
You do not have to choose one forever. Start with what you need and build a connected presence over time.

You pay to put your offer in front of people.
Google Search adverts can appear when people search for a service. Meta adverts can show on Facebook and Instagram. The right choice depends on what you sell and who needs it.
A simple exampleA person searching for a local repair may be ready to enquire. Someone scrolling Facebook may first need a clear offer and a reason to pay attention.
The money paid to Google or Meta is your advertising spend. Our setup and management fees are separate. Results vary; we do not guarantee sales.
Topic 5 of 6
Keep it useful. Keep responding.
Check enquiries, follow up on quotes and keep your services and photos current. A website is most useful when it supports the way your business actually works.
A simple exampleIf you add a new service, update the site. If customers keep asking the same question, add a clear answer. If someone enquires, respond promptly.
Optional website care covers agreed maintenance and small updates. Marketing support can help bring more relevant visitors.

Domain
Your website address. For example, webdo.co.za.

Mobile-friendly
The website adjusts so people can read and use it on a phone without pinching and zooming.
Enquiry or lead
